Obama's Endorsements

In the midst of a Presidential election many spectulate at the power a candidate's endorsements play in the election process. Candidates often desire senior and top officials in that candidates party and usually the candidate nominated has the most from his or her party. But interesting to me is this article I found. It speaks about the nominations Obama has received from several other nations leaders.

The article starts with this, "The latest unsought praise for the Democratic front-runner came from Fidel Castro, who wrote in a column for Cuba’s Granma newspaper Monday that Obama is
'the most progressive candidate to the U.S. presidency.'"

The article also talked about another endorsement he received, "In mid-April, Hamas adviser Ahmed Yousef told WorldNetDaily that 'We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that he will win the elections.'" He also said, "'I hope Mr. Obama and the Democrats will change the political
discourse. I do believe [Obama] is like John Kennedy, a great man with a great principle.'"

It is important that we consider these endorsements carefully as we are engaged in a global war!
